| UniProt functional annotation for Q9RGX8 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9RGX8. |
| Organism: | Zobellia galactanivorans (strain DSM 12802 / CCUG 47099 / CIP 106680 / NCIMB 13871 / Dsij). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Bacteroidetes; Flavobacteriia; Flavobacteriales; Flavobacteriaceae; Zobellia. | |
| Function: | Cleaves the beta-1,4-linkages between beta-D-galactose and alpha-L-3,6-anhydro-galactose residues in agarose. Cleaves agarose in a random manner with retention of the anomeric-bond configuration, producing beta-anomers that give rise progressively to alpha-anomers when mutarotation takes place. Also tolerant to hybrid substrates containing C6-sulfate groups at the -4, +1, and +3 positions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22778272}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-galactosidic linkages in agarose, giving the tetramer as the predominant product.; EC=3.2.1.81; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22778272}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=1 mM for agarose {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456406}; Note=kcat is 100 sec(-1).; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22778272}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell outer membrane {ECO:0000305|PubMed:15456406}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305|PubMed:15456406}. | |
| Induction: | When cells are grown with the low sulfated agar. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22778272}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 16 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
